Failed To Parse Processes

[TurtleP]

Environment

• OS and version: Windows 11 [Version 10.0.22621.2134]
• VS Code: 1.81.1 (User Setup)
• C/C++ extension: 1.17.4
• OS and version of remote machine (if applicable): Horizon (Nintendo 3DS / 11.17.0-50U)
• GDB / LLDB version: 13.2

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:
I'm trying to get the list of remote processes but the debugger fails to process them.

Steps to reproduce:
Setting up the steps to reproduce is a bit of a hassle for everyone else because you need to have custom firmware on a Nintendo 3DS and set everything up.

It's as simple as using the provided configuration and getting an error back. I've confirmed that doing info os processes within gdb while attached has provided me the remote processes. This does not work with vscode.

Additional Information

[dennis97519]

can the extension use the mi output ( https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb.html/GDB_002fMI-Miscellaneous-Commands.html , under -info-os) rather than parse the command line output?

I guess this is the extension's code https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/main/Extension/src/Debugger/attachToProcess.ts and its doing some regex for the human readable output.

also why does it disconnect then reconnect before attaching, after selecting a process for remote debugging?
